Tax Consulting Manager | Mid-Market Business Consulting Agency

Overview

Tired of the grind of busy season and traditional tax compliance cycles? Looking to move beyond return prep and into strategic, project-based work with Fortune 1000 companies?

Our client is a fast-growing mid-market business consulting firm that helps large corporations solve high-impact tax and finance challenges. Our client is not a CPA firm, they operate as an extension of their clients’ in-house teams, offering deep technical expertise and practical support on complex business and tax matters.

Projects are dynamic, client-facing, and vary throughout the year. No core compliance season and no 80-hour weeks.

What You'll Work On

• General corporate tax advisory, structuring, and planning
• Tax technical accounting research and documentation for complex or emerging issues
• M&A tax support, including transaction structuring and post-merger integration
• Support for IPO readiness and public company transitions
• IRS and state audit support, controversy resolution, and audit defense
• International tax planning and compliance consulting
• Partnership with client leadership and cross-functional finance teams

Who You Are

• 6+ years of tax experience, ideally in a large or mid-market public accounting firm preferred
• Strong technical background in corporate and ASC 740 tax matters
• Experience with complex clients, preferably Fortune 1000 or large private companies
